They are easy to fit.  The hardest part is removing the original
windscreen.

I wouldn't recommend one on a street machine, unless you are willing to
wear a helmet or at least eye protection.  I have one on my racecar and
I'm constantly killing insects with my helmet.  Hitting a Texas
grasshopper at 100 miles an hour causes quite a "splash," not to mention
a hard knock.  I have many scars on my helmet to prove it.  The screen
helps to kick the air up over the helmet, but things still come swooping
in at me.
